Generated: 2026-05-29T20:13:56.451656+00:00
## Scope
- Newsletter: excluded for now.
- 30-day learning programme: excluded for now.
- Primary monetization path: checklist blocks in YouTube descriptions, short TikTok captions, later optional affiliate disclosures/links where appropriate.
## Platform description policy
- YouTube: include a short 3-bullet checklist in every description. Add affiliate disclosure only when an affiliate link is actually present.
- TikTok: public sources currently report captions around 4,000 chars, but the useful visible space is much shorter. Use 1–2 lines + 4–6 hashtags; put the checklist compressed into one sentence.
- Instagram/Reels: use the TikTok-short version unless a longer caption is strategically needed.
## Fit counts
- marketplace_payment_safety: 44
- checklist_only: 36
- password_manager_security_key: 27
- malwarebytes_bitdefender_norton: 22
- aura_identity_family: 20
- vpn_privacy_data_removal: 16

- business_invoice_fraud: 6

## Partner hierarchy
1. Checklist-only trust building first.
2. Malwarebytes / Bitdefender / Norton for malware, fake support, downloads.
3. Aura / Norton LifeLock for identity and family scams.
4. Password manager + security key/Amazon hardware for login traps.
5. Surfshark/Incogni/Aura for privacy/data broker topics.
6. Amazon Associates only as supplemental hardware/book route, not the core revenue engine.

## Description checklist template

Quick checklist:
- <safe action 1>

- <safe action 3>

Tools can help, but the safest move is to verify before you click, pay, scan, or share a code.

## Claim guardrails
- Never say antivirus/VPN/identity protection prevents all scams.
- Phrase as: “Tools can help, but the rule saves you first.”
- Use affiliate disclosure when a paid link is present.
- Avoid fear-based medical/financial-style certainty; keep practical, calm, and verifiable.
